|
|
The offspring are identical to parents
|
|
|
There is longer development time for offspring
|
|
|
The offspring are born alive, rather than from eggs
|
|
|
The offspring inherit a wider variety of genetic information
|
Detailed explanation-1: -In sexual reproduction both parents are involved hence offspring get attributes of both parents. Organisms produced by sexual reproduction have a greater survival rate as compared to asexual reproduction as organisms have variation which is adapted to various environments.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sexual reproduction is typically advantageous over asexual reproduction because the environment is constantly changing. Sexual reproduction allows new combinations of genes to form. This greater genetic diversity increases the phenotypic variation: that is, it increases the physical variety of the organisms.
Detailed explanation-3: -The advantages of sexual reproduction: produces genetic variation in the offspring. the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage. a disease is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sexual reproduction involves two parents, whereas asexual reproduction involves only one parent. So, the offspring resulting from sexual reproduction will have mixed characteristics from both the parents and therefore, will be different from each parent. This will bring variations in the population.
